Cupcakes are small cakes made from cookie dough printed in paper cups or paper cups. Cupcakes are almost the same shape as muffins, but have a lighter texture.


You can try to follow these tips for making cupcakes:


• Top quality ingredients


In order to get a delicious final result, also obey the recipe you use.


• Stir the Dough Until Soft Peak


Dough that is kneaded too long can form a lot of gluten. As a result, your cupcakes will become tough and the surface of the cupcakes may crack when they come out of the oven later. It's different if you stir it for too long, the texture of the cupcake will be easy to break and crumbly.


• Don't bake cupcakes too long


Follow the length of baking time as suggested in the recipe. Or, until the cupcakes are done. You can check the level of doneness by pricking it with a toothpick. If the dough doesn't stick to the toothpick, it means the cupcakes are done. Never hesitate to open the oven when baking cupcake batter. The reason is, adding time to make sure the cupcake batter in it is cooked properly. It will only make the cupcakes over-bake. Of course, it can make cupcakes that are actually ripe. The result is hard.


Spray frosting while the cupcakes are still hot.


• Use the Ice Cream Scoop


When placing the cupcake batter into the special paper, use an ice cream scoop. This is so that the amount on each cupcake is the same. No cupcake is too small or too big. Don't fill the dough too full, only 2/3 of it is enough.


• Chill before decorating


One thing most cake cooks forget is forgetting to refrigerate baked cupcakes after they are removed from the oven. Decorating cupcakes before they cool is a big mistake. The icing will melt easily in less than 1 minute. In fact, if you leave at least 15 minutes, decorating a baked cupcake will be much easier.


• Make sure the ingredients are at room temperature


Make sure ingredients such as butter, milk and eggs are at room temperature. Materials that are not at room temperature will make the cupcke tough, not fluffy.


Those are tips for making delicious and delicious cupcakes. Hope this article helps you!
